March 29, 2010

Monday-We woke up after a restful night and got ourselves to the coliseum for the Islanders practice. Cody was so excited. It feels very good to be writing here and not have to include so much medical stuff. Anyway, we were the only ones in the coliseum. We sat next to where the players come out and they filtered out and Richard, his player saw Cody and shouted to both of us. We sat with Ann and watched the practice. It was a pretty intense practice since tomorrow night's game is against the Rangers. We saw Gillies, the new player teaching a few others how to do some holds in a fight. He is a fighter for sure. When the players left the ice, we got a few more autographs. Josh Bailey came and gave him another stick. Richard came out and yelled for Cody to come with him. I was left to get the autographs from the other players. Ann gave us a book and and a banner so I was trying to get it signed. Cody was nervous and stepped down and followed Richard into the locker room. I, of course, (darn!) could not hang out there so he went alone. He said later they he was talking to a few of the players, Biron (goalie), Frans Neilsen, Sean Bergenheim to name a few. He came out with this HUGE smile on and just could not stop smiling. He was speechless on the way home too. I think he had to let it all sink in. It was a fun morning and an unforgettable one.
